In voting by the 13 C-USA football coaches, the league selects first and second teams and honorable mention all-conference picks, to go with the All-Freshman squad.

Reaves also picked up punt returner honors on the second team, where he was joined by four Herd teammates – junior center Michael Selby, senior defensive tackle Jarquez Samuel, senior punter Tyler Williams and senior long snapper Matt Cincotta.

The conference's seven major awards will be announced Wednesday. They are Most Valuable Player, Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Special Teams Player of the Year, Freshman of the Year, Newcomer of the Year and Coach of the Year.

Cincotta and Williams were also all-conference selections a year ago, while Hunter garnered honorable mention acclaim. Tindal -- the C-USA co-Freshman of the year in 2013 -- has been an honorable mention all-league selection for three consecutive years and McKelvey was an honorable mention pick in 2013 before missing most of 2014 with his second major knee injury.

Marshall (9-3) is set to face Connecticut (6-6) in the St. Petersburg Bowl on Saturday, Dec. 26 at 11 a.m. ET. With a win, the Thundering Herd would become the only Group of Five program to register double-digit wins in each of the last three seasons.

The game will be broadcast on ESPN and ESPN Radio.
